When attempting to start a new game or load a pre-existing one the game will drop you back to desktop after doing either twice. You can attempt to load a game twice, start a new game twice or one of either and on the second time you drop to desktop. This happens with 'Blue shift' and 'Opposing Force' (HL and CS not affected).

I'm using an i5-2320 with Intel HD 2K IGP. Here is output when running from terminal. http://pastebin.com/xGd9EHQg

Looks like a corrupt install (it failed to load the game's server binary), can you try to validate the game in steam?

Validating has fixed it thanks.
